Default SC400 Single Turbo (Rear Mount)

I found this video on youtube a few days ago, and asked
the guy a few questions especially with piping. Second video
is an actual break down of his rear mounted single turbo setup.
Thought I'd share this for all the SC400 owners wanting to FI

Nice. Very nice. I'm sure there are some ups and downs but good alternative.

Great idea just needs to finish it up by fabricating a cover plate either welded or bolted instead of that plywood. I think I'll go this route instead of getting custom headers. This will help keep the already hot engine bay to normal temp. Turbo seems small but that can be swapped with minor work. Thanks for posting the vids.

Glad to see a fellow SC owner doing this. The Corvette/Camaro/Mustang/Mopar guys have been doing this for a while, even with twin turbo set ups, its easier on the engine bay.

Why is this stupid? I've ridden and driven a GTO with a rear mount on it, never could tell of any "lag" that the internet warriors whine about and it never had any issues.
